Super fun intelligent show

Characters are competent, intelligent human beings who advance based on their qualities. People made the best decisions they could with the information they had, and once they knew better, they did better.
Casting was diverse without feeling the need to draw attention to anybody's race or gender. Really enjoyed this show!

Only woke critique (SPOILER!!!) is that of course the overall villains HAD to be the 2 rich white guys.

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender,’ in the year of 2005, is non-woke. Its four Asian culture–inspired nations are divided by borders and ideologies, not the color of their skin. There are strong male and female role models.

The series’ closest thing to “wokeness” is its discussion of gender issues, but in the year of 2005, it’s actually handled competently in a way that would likely be much more highly criticized in modern U.S. culture.

One main character, Sokka, starts the series as decently misogynistic, often irritating his sister, Katara (however, he’s still characterized as a good person). In the third episode, the main group travels to Kyoshi Island, a location dedicated to the previous incarnation of the series’ “Avatar” and a symbol of both strength and femininity. They also meet the Kyoshi Warriors, a team of young women who mimick Kyoshi’s manner of dress and are skilled in combat. Sokka, who calls himself the best fighter in his village, quickly loses a fight with the Warriors’ leader, Suki, due to his untrained fighting style. He asks Suki to train him (which involves crossdressing, played exclusively for comedy), and is soon able to beat Suki after becoming more disciplined. In the climax of the episode, both characters are shown to be good fighters. Sokka apologizes for treating Suki “like a girl” instead of “like a warrior”; she kisses him on the cheek and replies, “I *am* a warrior—but I’m a *girl*, too.”

At the end of the first season, Katara also struggles with a master who refuses to teach her waterbending (psychically controlling water) for combat, as their culture traditionally teaches males combat and females healing instead. By the end, she proves herself as a skilled waterbender and the master is willing to teach her, but her ability to heal with water also continues to be important throughout the series. Katara is not only a good fighter, but also is sympathetic, sweet, and sensitive.

In other words, ‘The Last Airbender’ teaches girls that they don’t have to sacrifice femininity in order to be who they want to be—a type of message largely missing in contemporary popular culture and media.

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ is phenomenal and deserves a watch—for so many reasons other than (but including) its messaging.

Not woke

No woke elements. Great action flick. Nia was definitely a case of DIE casting.

Here's our in-your-face agenda!

I have retracted a bit of the hate from my original review. Aside from this film being an in-your-face liberal propaganda piece, it's kind of a cutesy "as expected" romantic comedy. In that sense, it's a fun watch. Previous review (updated):

"Lesbian-interracial couple marriage in Australia. And I so wanted to just sit and watch a silly romantic comedy with a hot looking woman. Sydney Sweeney isn't actually all that good in this movie, but she's sexy! (update: yeah, she's cute)

This film (update: This film's over the top inclusion and DEI brainwashing) makes me want to vomit. I try to not use the word, "Woke" on this board so much, since it's in the actual DNS name of the site. But that's what it is. Here's a couple other words: Hollywood swill (Update: But, still kind of a fun little RomCom).

I'm sure it'll appeal to the dimwit university programmed DEI robots who grew up in this time of asshats. This movie (Update: This movie's inclusionary vision) sucks.

It depicts the complexities of power dynamics and societal norms, often challenging traditional perspectives and highlighting the need for progress and
